This is the best place for backpacking supplies of all kinds. They have a very good selection of hiking boots and shoes, clothing,and too much more to list. If your going to buy more than once, get a membership. Mine has paid for itself many times over.

I couldn't be happier. I brought my old REI down sleeping bag in to help me make the zipper work. It came apart and I couldn't... you know. He knew so MUCH about down bags that I was amazed. I learned all sorts of things about down bags that never occurred to me. Wonderful store. Great team member.

A little smaller selection than most REI stores. Prices are basically MSRP. The only perk is using a REI card for 10% discount
